This list is awesome. Of all the lists I've seen recently, yours most resembles what I would put on mine. If I ever did one. :)

Sarah's right, it's a very good list (I liked the manifesto too)!

Liz said...

Aw, you guys! Thank you! And Sarah, it's fun & no pressure. Give it a shot if you're inclined. xo

I heart this list. Lots of things on there I'd love to do too. Where would you consider a great place to see the Nutcracker?

I LOVE MY PILLOWS!

We can make winter week in the mountains happen. And cure fear of heights at the same time.
